Gunman Opens Fire Inside Holocaust Museum, Wounds Security Guard
Fox News ^ | Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Posted on 06/10/2009 1:04:12 PM PDT by Panzerlied

A gunman opened fire inside the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, wounding a security guard before other officers returned fire, officials said.

Police are looking at a man identified as James Von Brunn as the shooter, FOX News has learned -- though D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier would not confirm the identity of the suspect. A man named James Von Brunn operates a white supremacist Web site called Holy Western Empire which carries several anti-Semitic statements. The site says he was a World War II veteran and also served time in federal prison for trying to make a "citizens arrest" of Federal Reserve Board members in 1981.

Law enforcement officials said two people were shot in the violence Wednesday -- the security guard and the gunman. Both were transferred to a local hospital, said David Schlosser, a spokesman for the U.S. Park Police.

Schlosser said the gunman entered the museum shortly before 1 p.m. ET and shot one security guard, before two other security guards returned fire, wounding the shooter.

They’ve said he’s a WWII veteran, I don’t think they’ve said which side von Brunn was on, though...

I heard he was on a PT boat. I'm not sure what that means really, but I assumed he was ours.

Nutjob white-supremist home-grown terrorist.

There, but for the grace of God, go a large number of people who have lost faith in their government. A lot more radical than ever I would ever countenance, but is he really a subversive? There was a simpler, more pure America, once, but it has been contaminated by poisonous and treacherous propaganda that paints the defense of that ideal as the bad guys. Then, when after years of denigration and slights, one of the more susceptible reacts and explodes against all whom were considered his oppressors, we get, “See! See! Tolja that’d happen!”

I suppose it did.

Some people SHOULD be afraid nights. Or in the daytime. Or anytime they are out on the streets. Or in their homes. Or at work. Or at their house of worship. Or shopping at the store.

Holy Western Empire

I suppose the psycho took that from the old Holy Roman Empire. The quip was it was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire. I guess the same applies to this creep's website.

Someone posted an article **by him** that was on DL.no (norway)
He did not post anything on FR.

Pulling that posting was a bad idea, only for the fact that all the Kossacks can still get it using google (cached)

I see, easy work for lazy and liberal “reporters”. Got it. Thanks.

Remember the recent Homeland Security memo that warned about domestic terrorists, bumper stickers and white supremes that the GOP slammed? Get ready to have it brought up again chapter and verse. You can already hear it on Fox News of all places!

The guy was a nutcase, that’s all that really needs to be said. Period.

But Shep Smith was going on about how this type of hate speech has got to stop and saying that it was hate speech from the right against Obama that caused this to happen. Does anyone recall Shep Smith being outraged about all the hate speech against Bush?

Shep Smith is not even a politician (though you can surmise his leanings) so you can imagine what Pelosi, Schemer and the rest are going to say.

Has anyone blamed conservative talk radio yet, like Clinton did with the OK City bombing? Matter of time.

Of course, the press will not hesitate to paint all right wingers with the brush of madness.

Nor waste the opportunity to push for "Gun Control", AKA "Citizen disarmament".

And, sadly, the liberal gun-grabbers will list both parties: the deceased guard and this old, hate-filled wacko — whose assault was stopped with gunfire — as “victims of gun violence”.

The Germans, had similar boats. The Germans called theirs, S-boats, "S" for Speed, or in German Schnellboot
